Lying just off the coast of South eastern Queensland
in Australia Moreton Island is one of the most beautiful travel destinations.
For those staying in Brisbane it is the perfect weekend getaway being within
the city limits but then one can also take a day trip if strapped for time. Ninety
five percent of the island is contained within a national park and so the
natural beauty and the indigenous flora and fauna have escaped any kind of
human abuse. Known as the Gem of Southeast Queensland this
place is ideal for day trippers, four wheel driving, camping, angling for fun
and not to forget sand tobogganing which is a big hit with the tourists.
BRIEF HISTORY:
Moreton Island used to be the home of the Ngugi tribes
before being discovered by Captain James Cook and later by Matthew Flinders.
Initially it was named Cape Morton by Captain Cook but a clerical error made
the name Moreton and later Matthew Flinders came up with the name Moreton
Island. Those who are interested in history will have a great time here looking
at the shell middens which indicate the aboriginal occupation and visiting the
museum which tell you a lot more about the island and what happened in the
bygone era.
